Hello!
My name is Christi Ford, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Dwayne Frei, LPC-S.
As a counselor, my goal is to assist young people facing the challenges of growing up and moving successfully into adulthood. I have nearly 2 decades of experience working with children and adolescents as a public school teacher, and I completed my counseling internships in an intermediate school, helping students with both mental health and academic challenges. My specific training and experience include specialization in ADHD, PTSD and trauma, and anxiety and depression.
I approach counseling from a place of empathy, compassion, and respect. Sessions are a safe place for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and personal beliefs as they grow into individuals with confidence in their unique identity and abilities. Through the use of humor, genuine communication, and proven therapeutic approaches, clients will learn skills and strategies to tackle difficult situations, heal trauma, and better understand themselves.
